32 This mystery is profound, and

I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church.

Ephesians 5:32ESV

45 For even the Son of Man came not

to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.

Mark 10:45ESV

Ephesians 5:31ESV

31 “Therefore a man shall leave his

father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become

• ne flesh.”

The Portrait of Redemption = ???

Redemption = Christ and the Church Marriage = Husbands and wives

Marriage Portrays Redemption

Husbands

25 Husbands, love your wives,

as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her…

Ephesians 5:25ESV

Husbands

28 In the same way husbands should

love their wives as their own bodies.

Ephesians 5:28ESV

21 far above all rule and authority and

power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come.

22 And he put all things under his feet

Ephesians 1:21–23ESV

and gave him as head over all things to the church, 23 which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.

Ephesians 1:21–23ESV

Wives

22 Wives, submit to your own husbands,

as to the Lord.

• 23 For the husband is the head of the wife
• even as Christ is the head of the church,

his body, and is himself its Savior.

Ephesians 5:22–23ESV

24 Now as the church submits to

Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands.

Wives and Husbands

22 Wives, submit to your own

husbands, as to the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior.

Ephesians 5:22-33ESV

24 Now as the church submits to

Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands.

25 Husbands, love your wives, as

Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, 26 that he might

Ephesians 5:22-33ESV

sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word,

27 so that he might present the

church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and

Ephesians 5:22-33ESV

without blemish. 28 In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. 29 For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as

Ephesians 5:22-33ESV

Christ does the church, 30 because we are members of his body.

31 “Therefore a man shall leave his

father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become

• ne flesh.” 32 This mystery is

Ephesians 5:22-33ESV

profound, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church.

33 However, let each one of you love

his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.

Ephesians 5:22-33ESV

Husbands

25 Husbands, love your wives,

as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her…

Ephesians 5:25, 28-33ESV

Wives

22 Wives, submit to your own husbands,

as to the Lord.

• 23 For the husband is the head of the wife
• even as Christ is the head of the church,

his body, and is himself its Savior.
